It's where I stay in Galena

The Irish Cottage is a favorite of mine, and has been for some time. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff there. The courtesy leaves me speechless, from the helpful front desk staff (who were of great help from phoned-in reservation to morning checkout), all the way to the gentleman in the hallway, who turned off his vacuum as I walked past and wished me a good morning. I really felt he meant it! The atmosphere is breathtaking; you have to experience it to believe it. Frank O'Dowd's Irish Pub just makes you feel at home, and if you're looking for a place to catch some live Celtic music, look no further. The rooms were spotless, and the Continental breakfast was delicious. I'm just looking for an excuse to return there soon for more of their hospitality.
